CHAPTER 561. FIGHT FOR YOU. Boys with PermissionHe wasn’t a man prone to impulsiveness... or so he believed, but when it came to Adriana, it was as if all his self-control vanished in an instant. He took his leave from Mr. Keller with a casual two-fingered salute, military-style, and made his way into the house with all the confidence of someone who owned it.He knocked twice on the door and peeked inside to find Adriana wrapped in a soft unicorn pajama set that stirred more primal instincts in him than any sexy lingerie ever could.Normally, she was strong and decisive, but right then, she looked like a little princess in need of a dragon to guard her. And if there was one thing Kyle knew, it was that he was perfectly capable of breathing fire.“What...?! What are you doing here, Kyle? How did you get in?” she asked, stammering slightly, but a second later, she unconsciously stepped back as she watched him approach with that hungry, predatory stride.The few minutes he’d spent in he

CHAPTER 562. FIGHT FOR YOU. Whatever Will Be, Will Be!Adriana was speechless. Her apartment was completely different, and if she were honest, there wasn’t a single thing left that could bring up a memory.“Kyle, what is all this...? Did you... did you have the whole place redecorated? In a day?”“I’m a man with plenty of resources,” he replied, closing the door with a smile—one that quickly faded the moment she turned, her questioning gaze taking on an accusatory tone.“Enough resources to know what was going to happen?” she challenged. “Is that why you came all the way to Lucerne?”“What did you expect me to do?” he tried to defend himself. “I got tired of calling you when we saw that guy was in your apartment, but you didn’t answer because your phone was off, and...”“And how did you know Oskar was in my apartment, Kyle? *How*...?” She took a deep breath, feeling dizzy, and for the first time that day, she regretted not going to the hospital when her father had tried to take her. “

CHAPTER 563. FIGHT FOR YOU. A Difficult WomanIt was warm... No, not just warm—hot.Adriana felt soft breathing behind her neck and realized she was wrapped in a pair of strong arms. She stifled a startled gasp and was about to move when she felt something metallic pressing against her calves. She didn’t even need to turn around to know who it was.Because it was him! The cyborg was spooning her, all cozy and very... close."Rey!" she grumbled, and she saw him jolt awake."What? What happened?" he asked, suddenly alert as if ready for battle. She half-turned to look at those sleepy blue eyes. "Did you sleep well?" Kyle murmured, as if that were the most natural question to ask at this hour, and he watched her sigh."Well, I can’t complain about the ‘sleeping’ part. What I don’t understand is how I woke up with your hand on my boob and something pressing against my backside that I really hope is your knee."“Shit!” he exclaimed, trying to pull back, but he couldn’t, since the couch bac

CHAPTER 564. FIGHT FOR YOU. The BestAdriana looked at him like he was an alien straight off a spaceship."What? What’s wrong?" he asked, genuinely curious, as if being there were the most normal thing in the world.She frowned, got up from her desk, and moved around it to lean against it from the other side."Kyle... what are you doing?" she asked, trying to keep her cool."I told you, I’m here for a sports representation. You offered, and I decided to take it.""And I don’t believe it," she replied. "You said no. You were pretty clear about that...""Clear enough to hurt you," he murmured, remembering the stupid thing he’d said that day."And I got the message," she assured him. "I understood you weren’t interested, and I told you I wouldn’t bother you again. So whatever this is... please don’t continue. I’m really not in the mood today."She tried to move, but Kyle suddenly got up from his chair and stepped toward her, confidently, even a bit possessively, pressing her against the

CHAPTER 565. FIGHT FOR YOU. Anything GoesShe wanted to kill him—strangle him with her hands just like this... right around his neck! And not in the most erotic sense.“What the hell are you doing here!?” she demanded, staring at him in disbelief, while from the other side of the car, her father looked up.“Adriana! Is that any way to speak to a guest? And what’s this about you not wanting to represent him?”The mischievous smile on Kyle’s face made her want to bite it off, to be honest. He was a man with a fierce imagination, one that seemed almost designed to bring out the darkest side of Adriana Keller, more often than anyone else could.“What the hell is going on here? You came to complain about me to my dad?” she accused him, watching him shrug.“No, no, Miss Keller, I simply accepted your answer and told you I’d seek out the best. And according to what I heard, the best is your father. So here I am, negotiating a representation contract with him,” he smiled, and Adriana looked a

CHAPTER 566. FIGHT FOR YOU. A Man Who Knows What He WantsHaving a nice lunch with him wasn’t the problem. He might look like a beast in the cage, but it was undeniable that he was a very well-mannered beast, and Adriana’s jaw nearly dropped watching how captivated her parents were by him—especially as he never overstepped a single boundary with them.The truth was, by the time lunch ended, Mr. and Mrs. Keller were eating out of his hand, and Adriana gave him a challenging look as they said their goodbyes.“Well, I guess I need to get started on that contract,” she grumbled. “I’ll expect you at the office at six, Mr. Orlenko.”She left her parents’ house, not noticing that as soon as she was gone, the two men bumped fists.“It’s reassuring to know you’re around her, but let me warn you, I didn’t raise her to be submissive or easy to handle. Expect some serious resistance,” Zack cautioned.“Don’t worry, Mr. Keller. I just want to make sure she’s safe until I’m certain no one linked to

CHAPTER 567. FIGHT FOR YOU. Another “Supportive” IdiotIn any other situation, Adriana would have thought, “Yeah, sure, whatever you say, Your Majesty!” However, in that moment, it was too clear from his tone that he was genuinely worried.Her hands clung to his jacket, and she only felt Kyle’s hand at her side, as if he were ready to guide her wherever she needed to go at any moment. A long minute passed as he finished assessing the situation, and then he decided to step out of the elevator, never dropping his guard.“This isn’t going to be easy for you to see,” he murmured as he showed her what he’d been looking at. Adriana gasped when she saw her truck, half-destroyed.She drove a Cadillac Escalade to work, and Kyle knew that because, well, by this point, there wasn’t much he didn’t know about her routines.“This can’t be happening! How…?” she growled, clenching her fists and running a hand through her hair.The windows were shattered, the tires slashed, and the body was dented as

CHAPTER 568. FIGHT FOR YOU. The Demands of a KingIt could have been a challenge, a threat, or an invitation, but the truth was, with the heat between them, Adriana saw it as all three at once.She slowly leaned back to slip out of his arms, giving him a thoughtful smile.“Well, after the heartbroken act you put on for my dad, I’m pretty sure we’ll have plenty of time for everything,” she said, reaching for her phone to call her father.A few minutes later, the assault was reported to the police, with evidence included, and Adriana was holding the contract documents to show Kyle.“The form is basic, but I had to adjust a few clauses, given that your sport is… high-risk,” she said.“Illegal.”“Same thing.” Adriana shrugged. “I want to make sure we reach the right audience. The fight itself isn’t illegal; anyone can set up a ring in their backyard and go at it with someone else, as long as it’s consensual.”“The illegal part is the betting…” Kyle realized. “But I’m guessing that’s an op

CHAPTER 569. FIGHT FOR YOU. An Exclusive ContractSigning that contract wasn’t difficult for Kyle; after all, nothing Adriana wanted or needed would ever conflict with his training or his fights. But he wasn’t prepared for everything she had in mind.The King smiled as he formed his signature on the contract… and she smiled afterward, sending a chill down his spine.“You appeal to a very different audience,” Adriana said, handing him his copy of the contract. “Your fights aren’t for the kind of guys who sit on the couch, drink beer, and argue about the soccer league. As crazy as it sounds, a beastly sport like yours can only really be funded by the most educated people.”Kyle grinned as if she’d paid him a compliment.“Thanks for that.”“Oh, it is! But starting tomorrow, you’ll also belong to Nexa Sport Representation. Being one of the new faces of my company has big benefits… but also costs,” Adriana warned him. “We need to launch your brand, and from now on, you’ll only do charity f

CHAPTER 570. FIGHT FOR YOU. I Didn’t Mean to Hurt You“If that’s what you want, then I won’t resist,” Kyle said with a mischievous smile, and Adriana groaned in frustration.“Come on, King, don’t be childish! This is part of your contract. We have to pick the right underwear for you because…”“Hey, hey! I’m not one of those guys who walks around with his waistband showing! No one’s going to see my underwear!”“That’s what you think,” she replied, picking several styles and pressing them against his chest.“Well, I think right, because I get into those cages wearing pants!” he shrugged.“That’s over too, King. From now on, we have contracts with major underwear brands, and they’re part of your sponsors, so you’ll be doing photoshoots for Versace, Armani, or Boss, and fighting in their designs, which will obviously be comfortable but short. Forget the pants, King, we need to show off those nice leg…”Before she could finish, a large, firm hand closed around her wrist, and the hiss that
